Quote by Proverb

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool

Summary

This quote is suggesting that having knowledge or intelligence does not necessarily equate to understanding and experiencing something fully. Just as a spoon cannot taste the soup it holds, a person who is knowledgeable may not truly comprehend the essence and depth of wisdom. It emphasizes the idea that intellectual capacity alone does not guarantee true understanding, as there is a difference between acquiring knowledge and truly assimilating and appreciating the deeper meaning behind it.

Perhaps we feel inclined to disagree with Him. But there's a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you couldn't be right and He wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you're arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it's like cutting off the branch you're sitting on.

We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family, and it starts with the Queen herself.
